birth complications
Labor gone wrong
Birth complications are medical problems that arise during labor, delivery, or shortly after a baby is born.
The term covers a wide range of conditions affecting mother or child: prolonged labor, umbilical cord problems, hemorrhaging, fetal distress, or breathing difficulties in the newborn.
The birth complications required an emergency cesarean section.
The phrase often appears in medical histories and insurance forms.
